Hold the Presses! I just checked my tracking number and should receive my Hobbyeasy package yet today. I should be hands on with the T-90A and the Xactscale T-80U later today. I hope to post my impressions within the next day or so.

Hi guys!
Just going to throw my two cents in here.
Taking a first look at the photos, the detail looks soft, I do not know if its the camera, the lighting, or the green styrene, but after building Miniarm's Resin turret, The detail is a little sad, considering it was built with help from Gur Khan.
Check my "Fantasy T-90 Build" where I put Miniarm's next to Zvezda's. I will get a hold of Meng's (for wheels and other parts) and will take photos of side by sides.

Will also get my hands on Trumpeters!
(they posted a PE fret on their FB page, with some zooming, you can read T-90)

Sorry for the rant!
Cheers!

well, to counter general excitement about the kit, tracks are better tossed into trash.



Are they accurate or is it the assembly that is the red flag George?


Assembly is going to be problematic, especially if one wants to preserve tracks' workability. I bet their dimensions are accurate though.
